It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of 15-year-old Academy player, Amelia Aplin.
Amelia collapsed during a Girls’ Academy game against Fulham at the Club’s Training Centre in Horspath yesterday afternoon.
The thoughts and sincere condolences from everyone at Oxford United are with Amelia’s family, friends, teammates and coaches.
We would like to place on record our appreciation for the efforts of the medical staff at both Oxford United and Fulham Football Club, along with the emergency services.
The Club will offer support to Amelia’s family, players, coaches and staff impacted by this tragic event.
We would ask that the family’s privacy is respected at this incredibly difficult time.
I would like to join in demanding that the country that is being bombed indiscriminately, doesn’t engage in the unforgivable practice of bombing indiscriminately, which is never justified which is why we must stand by our allies as they bomb indiscriminately.
A black man could be sentenced for up to 5 years in prison for having a mental health crisis.
Once again, NEVER CALL THE COPS ON PEOPLE IN EMOTIONAL DISTRESS! THE POLICE CANNOT HANDLE AS MUCH AS THE TEXTBOOK SYMPTOMS OF A MENTAL BREAKDOWN!
